“In response to these crimes … the missile force and the naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea,” the movement’s military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.
“The operation was carried out with a number of winged and ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate and direct,” he added.
That would be rather embarrassing if the USA lost one of their most powerful weapons to an impoverished nation still recovering from a war.
Even just taking out some expensive and delicate equipment on a carrier is a victory. I wonder how much modern US navy equipment is actually more prone to damage than expected because the designers never expected an American carrier in the 21st century to do anything other than support an occupying army?
When you understand how a fighter jet works you realize that is literally the definition of a fighter jet.
Sounds like they hit it - any other confirmation?
US side denying it: https://www.businessinsider.com/houthi-rebels-didnt-hit-us-aircraft-carrier-as-they-claimed-2024-5
I doubt there’s really a way to know either way unless Yemen hit so hard it was seriously compromised.
Channeling my ancestors’ energy to the Houthis. You WILL destroy the carrier
